I read somewhere that is you can't smell certain things, it is an early sign of Dementia. This happened to me with Cucumbers. Last summer, they didn't have any smell or taste.

I have been trying to exercise my brain, and I could smell and taste the cucumber this week.

I'm sure you can reverse dementia.

Try eating super hot peppers. The hotter the better.

Some forms of dementia are irreversable, the best thing to do is eat a balanced diet and exercise not only your body but your mind as well.Rather than sitting down and watching some 'reality' show, why not do a crossword. You get to do some brain exercise and some dolphin will feel happy.

Most sweet things have high fructose corn syrup in them. Most salty things have monosodium glutamate in them. These are food additives that are supposed to make you crave more. They both make me feel nauseated. Neither one of them is good for you. High fructose corn syrup is chemically altered. It is much harder on the pancreas than real cane sugar. (Watch out for sugar beets. They are working to make them genetically modified.) As a result of the high fructose corn syrup being added to most sweet things, more children are obese, and more are developing type 2 diabetes as children. MSG is a natural flavor enhancer, but it has a negative effect on the digestive system. I get stomach aches and headaches when I eat it.

If you can avoid these two products, it will help a lot.

Most people's taste buds tend to change about every 7 years. So peoples' food preferences also change.

Thats true, but thats not what I'm talking about here in this thread. I know exactly what my taste buds are doing and if they change.

The food has changed, or something they use to make it and the food they feed the animals has changed.

My mother makes homemade chocolate and it tastes exactly as good as it did years ago. But all the chocolate at the stores has changed. And chips. I never threw away unfinished bags of chips before because they were always eaten. Now half bags hang around for a few days and get tossed.

You got alot of empty shill replies calculated to make you think you're not right and to introvert you and silence you by taking potshots at your speculative age, but you are in fact correct. I remember what a pork chop used to taste like, I remember what beef used to taste like, I remember what chicken and fish used to taste like, and the ***SHIT*** these bastard sellouts sell us now is cardboard garbage. They feed their animals on sawdust and other industry byproduct fillers and pump them full of salt so they'll weigh more after they're butchered after living and dying perpetually thirsty, then they add still more sodium phosphates to retain that water weight, and inject monosodium glutamate solutions labeled as 'broth' and 'spice extractives' and 'natural flavoring' to trick your mouth into thinking it still tastes like food. I can remember when going to a fast food place like MacDonalds for a 'Big Mac' was a wholesome family treat, not an unevenly microwaved half cold piece of shit that some illegal wetback Beaner SPIT IN when he saw you were white.

I know a few people who also say that most foods taste not delicious anymore. Like most candy is actually not good anymore to the taste buds. And most foods just don't taste good enough to really trip your trigger like they used too.

Anyone else notice this??

Is it some chemical they are adding? Or is it monsanto gene altered crops?

yea, its been like that for me. pizza doesn't taste good in thailand, but it is great in the usa. bananas didn't used to taste good here in thailand, then I had an ascenison experience, and now the bananas taste just as good as in the usa.

cheese and dairy taste better to me in the usa. i don't know why. it has always been like this. many other foods like this also..
